And you definitely need not do things to be noticed by others because this life is all about you. This is your season for self love and self care. Everything you do is solely to serve your own happiness because you can’t pour from an empty cup. Self validating behavior is all I ever chase anymore. You deserve it.

I didn’t look at it like that but yes yet again you are right, this is how we learn. The amount of times I relapsed on weed in the past you would think I’m some sort of guru on the subject

Day 35. Went to the Rangers vs. Devils game in the city (Rangers fan, sadly) with my husband and two of our friends. They all drank their IPA’s while I happily enjoyed my Pespi. Even though my team lost, I had so much fun and I was sober the whole time. In the past I would have laughed at the thought of not drinking beer after beer the entire game. Last time we went, I got wasted and fell asleep on the train on the way home.
I feel amazing and am so happy I walked out of that game remembering every minute of it.

I spoke with my pastor this morning about some ways I might contribute to the community. We spitballed some great ideas and I am looking forward to taking it further.
Went xc skiing in the balmy weather.
Chainsawed and threw logs around for a couple hours.
Attended a Mardi Gras party and stayed away from the booze. It was a really pleasant group of people who have known us for awhile.
Grateful for the day I had and for the tools I’ve gained in the last two months. I’ve got some faith today.

Good morning everyone. It’s a beautiful and sunny Sunday. Months ago my kids would wake me up and I was always hangover. Now they wake me up and I’m just tired. And after some coffees I’m ready to do some amazing stuff with them. Checking in on day 158. It was a long way to get where I am today. And I never want to go back. It’s good not to forget where I’ve came from to not fall back. I’m loving my life in general. That’s something I couldn’t say in the past.
Wishing you all a great sunny Sunday. Sober and happy

Sorry to hear about Lady. I do hope that she is ok.
Day 77. Sick again. Seriously body, I am not putting poison in u anymore, stop giving me gyp! We were supposed to go to the pil for lunch, but I stayed home. Rather miffed I haven’t even had a msg from them about how I am. But what was that brilliant phrase ‘expectations are premeditated resentments’. At least no cough so no worry about corona.

- 9 Months today. Somehow that means more to me than the previous round numbers I’ve gotten to. Three quarters of a year. Feeling I’m really on my way now. Feeling proud and achieved, even though I’ll always be just one drink or smoke away from a 1000 more. Lots of my achievement I owe to you all. By just being here. By sharing your own thoughts, reflections, struggles, victories and defeats. By giving me a platform to share mine. I’m forever in all your debts. Thanks so much! Just a normal Sunday otherwise. Grey outside. Got chores to do. Will do them sober and clean. Have a good one all! Love from Amsterdam.
@Dolse71 Sorry for what happened, good you’re right back here Paul. Onward and upward. @Fargesia_murielae Gefeliciteerd vriend! @Mtrav0040 Excellent work Mitch! @Misokatsu Get well soon lady.

Thanks for that post @Fargesia_murielae…my attitude stinks today …my relationship with the children needs some work,I’m quite moody with them most of the time that I’ve been sober ,not sure why, therapy maybe due,mostly seems a battle with how they speak to me and how I speak to them…I work 5 days a week so have little time in a school week basis with them…(I work Saturdays)…so today,tidyed,listened to music,going out for lunch with family later,but I feel tired and would prefer peace and quiet and not talk to anybody,my job is constantly talking to people,with a smile on my face,my days off ,I dunno,I prefer not talking and not smiling?..I’m okay…just still have a short fuse in my own home…
